Resources

This page is under construction.  MASC is not accepting outside sources except from our collaborative organizations – MASC will be working to restructure this page and remove some resources.

Some of these links below are openly shared Google documents. Often you cannot access linked documents in another Google Drive through a school system account. Please consider using a personal or different email whenever you try to access those documents.

On this page, you will find resources for a variety of items.  

These resources are mainly for middle and high school students and therefore some resources, although really good, do not meet our target audience. MASC is not an “advertising” organization for all things.  

All the information on this website is published in good faith and for general information purposes only. MASC does not make any warranties about the completeness, reliability, and accuracy of the information on other websites (labeled as “link to an outside source”).
